Manipulating Strings - 5th Test Case failing

Question

Question -

You are making a text editor and need to implement find/replace functionality.
The code declares a text string. You need to take two string inputs, which represent the substring to find and what to replace it with in the text.
Your program needs to output the number of replacements made, along with the new text.

For example, for the given text "I weigh 80 kilograms. He weighs 65 kilograms.":

Sample Input
kilograms
kg

Sample Output
2
I weigh 80 kg. He weighs 65 kg.

The program replaced 2 occurrences of the word kilograms with kg.

My Code (text part is predefined) -

text = "Amy has 128 dollars, while David has 54 dollars. Amy is going to the zoo. David watches soccer."

import re

x = input()
y = input()

print(len(re.findall(x, text)))
print(re.sub(x, y, text))

Answer 1

Yash Sawant ,

i can not figure out what the issue with your code is, as the test cases that fails is hidden.

i would encourage you to use string method count() and string method replace(). this should work

happy coding and good success!

Answer 2

Yash Sawant ,

there might be an issue when input for strings are both empty, or when string_x is empty and string_y has some characters, or the other way around.
? is your task description complete? can you name the tutorial and the lesson number?

happy coding and good success.

Answer 3

text = input()
old = input()
new = input()
print(text.count(old))
new_text = text.replace(old,new)
print(new_text)

Answer 4

Lothar, Python Data Structures course and Working with Strings topic. The lesson number is 5.2 Editing Guide. My task description is complete, but I was thinking of other ways to solve it and then stumbled upon this problem.

Answer 5

find = input()
replace = input()
print(text.count(find))
print(text.replace(find, replace))

Answer 6

find = input()
replace = input()
print(text.count(find))
print(text.replace(find, replace))
